Pecanbread Batter

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  6. Fold in the vanilla extract, chopped pecans, and shredded coconut.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let cool before slicing to allow the texture to set.

Notes

For extra flavor, lightly toast the pecans before mixing them into the batter!
